"Hong Kong Phooey" movie in the works

   I love the kung fu fighting dog from the creative mind of Hanna Barbera called Hong Kong Phooey. Now there will be a movie based on the mutt with a live-action/animated film. And the best part of all this is that Eddie Murphy will do the lead voice on Phooey himself.
    Hears the official synopses-
  
      Based on the 70’s cult classic Hanna Barbera animated TV series, a mild-mannered dog named PENRY (Murphy) stumbles into a mystic ceremony and is accidentally granted mystic powers, including the ability to walk, talk, and do kung fu. Under the tutelage of his kung fu master, Penry dons a costume and becomes Hong Kong Phooey, and with the help of his trusting sidekick Spot the cat cleans up a rogues gallery of wacky criminals.
Alcon Entertainment is behind the project, and Alex Zamm (Dr. Dolittle: Million Dollar Mutts, Tooth Fairy 2 – yike) will direct.
   I just hope its not like this years (still at #2) The Smurfs or last years Yogi Bear.
